Elina Svitolina Makes the Most Emotional Confession for Daughter Skai With an Ode to Husband Gael Monfils

Elina Svitolina‘s performance graph has been experiencing a downtrend in the last few weeks. Starting from the Indian Wells Masters, the WTA star couldn’t manage to create a winning position, including the Madrid Open where she faced an opening match defeat. Although she might be struggling with her professional life right now, Svitolina’s personal life is filled with joy. The reason? Her toddler daughter.

Recently, Svitolina indulged in a conversation with Sky Sports. Talking about different aspects of her life, the discussion reached an interesting point when the reporter enquired about the most precious moment of her life. The athlete, who welcomed her daughter Skai in October 2022 with her husband Gael Monfils, chose to talk about the whole journey.

Speaking about the birth of her daughter, Svitolina expressed, “For sure the moment was having our daughter Skai. It was such a long journey, you know, nine months carrying her, and then finally meeting her; it was a special moment.” She added more beauty to the explanation by highlighting the support of her husband’s presence, adding, “I was so happy to have him by my side and to have that moment together; I think it stands out by far.”

On being asked about what position her wedding holds in the list of the best moments, she added, “Wedding I think by far was the second. It was a sweet moment but like it happened during COVID so we were limited with guests.” However, despite that she mentioned the fact that she had a great time with family.

Despite leading a long life with various achievements, the fact that Elina Svitolina chose the birth of her daughter as the best moment highlighted her immense love for Skai. However, it isn’t just the mother who possesses immense love for Skai.

Elina Svitolina’s husband finds it hard to stay away from their daughter

Elina Svitolina’s confession of the best moment in her life made it clear that her daughter Skai is a fortunate kid. However, the fact that Svitolina’s husband Gael Monfils is also bound by an emotional feeling makes the family even more admirable. Back when the ATP star had to go on a tour to Dubai for the event, Monfils came forward to mention how hard it is to stay away from Skai.

“It’s hard. I’m going to Dubai next week so it’ll really be four weeks – we say four weeks not to say a month! – that I haven’t seen her, and it’s a long time at that age when she discovers lots of things. We’re very lucky that FaceTime exists, but it doesn’t replace anything,” Monfils expressed, during the week of being out.

As the tennis star continues to move ahead on her journey, tackling both personal and professional lives, it is evident that Svitolina is powered by her daughter’s love throughout!
